The Eldoret Food Traceability and Markets Project (EFTM).
The Eldoret Food Traceability and Markets Project is a pilot project carried out by Plusfarm and Assentian that seeks to improve food traceability, market access, and provide insights on the local food systems for enhanced support service delivery in Eldoret, Kenya.
Plusfarm Kenya thrives in providing agricultural services through modern skills and technologies. A leader in integrating technology in Agriculture within the north rift region. We are constantly developing innovative solutions for and with farmers at the core of our innovation process.
In the daily activities of seeking produce markets for our farmers, we experience how broken communication between food producers and markets is, through this project we seek to understand all stakeholders in order to help in building locally strong, effective and sustainable agricultural ecosystems in an equitable manner for all.
